Inside his head

Lies a blanket of snow

He wishes away his fears

But they have no place to go

Time is trouble

A shadow on his shoulders

Inside his head

Is a bubble waiting to burst

Thoughts are  broken

 By a devils curse

An eternal flame

Burns his soul

Inside his head

Is a haunting scream

Hurtling through his past

Chasing echoes in the dark

On a ghost ship in a storm

With a broken mast

I like the repetition of 'Inside his head', which adds a foreboding rythm to the poem, and the way it builds up to the final metaphor. Very good smokejack.
